Ways to turn the list into a game

• Majority points. Score a point for every time you side with most of the room. It is how the boxed games work.
• Guess the answer. Before someone answers, everyone else predicts their pick. Correct predictions score.
• Write your own. After ten questions, each player writes one winter dilemma on a slip. Shuffle and read them anonymously.
• Car-ride edition. Use the kids’ list on the drive to the sledding hill.

Pick Your Poison Family Edition is a great next step when the list runs out, and our Pick Your Poison rules explain the Judge and Double Down cards.
